SEO – Who is Voting For You?

by Christi on November 11, 2009

Is anyone voting for your website? That is how search engines see inbound links to your site. An inbound link to your site is a vote for your site.

You may be asking yourself, “How do I get inbound links?” That is a good question. This is where the hard work comes in. There are many link building methods ranging from just making a list of web masters and asking them to link to you, to really making the effort to create content that is worth linking to.

Creating content worth linking to is absolutely the goal to shoot for. It does take time and work, but the results are well worth the effort. While you are doing the work, it doesn’t hurt if you have relationships with web owners who you visit and enjoy that you can ask to link to you.

One of the best ways to create content that is worth linking to is to start a blog. Create new content on your blog that offers valuable information to your readers and see what happens. Again, these things take time but you will never get there if you never start.

Link building is an important part of SEO and it is worth spending some time on. When we work with clients on SEO, link building is certainly included in the package because we understand that those valuable links are a vote for you!
